Curriculum-based Measurement in the Content Areas: Validity of Vocabulary-Matching as an Indicator of Performance in Social Studies.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Espin, Christine A.; Busch, Todd W.; Shin, Jongho; Kruschwitz, Ron – Learning Disabilities: Research & Practice, 2001
A study examined the reliability and validity of two curriculum-based measures (CBMs) as indicators of the performance of 58 7th-graders in a content-area classroom. CBM measures were student- and administrator-read vocabulary-matching probes. Results revealed moderate alternate-form reliability for both vocabulary-matching measures. Scores for…
